Thank you so much Krystal. The Prophet was one of my favourite books while growing up. Glad it inspired.

"I love you is not an entanglement,

just the rare gift of selflessness," loved these lines; absolutely beautiful poem...

The last line really resonated with me:

"Each falter brings us to question ourselves,

to consider our chains and decide

on a life of freedom and love,

or the safety of stagnation."

Beautiful and thought provoking. It took me to thinking of Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet." Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Tony.. wow.. You out did yourself.. simply wonderful... and beautiful..I loved these lines. Each step, each moment is letting go, releasing realities that have in the past failed you, given reason for fear,..this is deep and touching at the same time.. I voted way up tony.
